Trend and price movement
- VN-Index: The Stochastic Oscillator crossed below the signal line while the rebound occurred on volume below the 20-day average, reinforcing the view of cautious trading. The oscillator’s cross in the overbought zone suggests ongoing price fluctuations ahead.
- HNX-Index: A “big white candle” pattern was observed, with price breaking above the Middle band of the Bollinger Bands. Short-term prospects improved as the Stochastic Oscillator crossed above the signal line; MACD may provide confirmation in coming sessions.
- Money flow dynamics: The Negative Volume Index for VN-Index remains above the 20-day EMA. If this holds, downside risk is assessed as limited.
- Foreign money flow: Continued net selling by foreign investors could intensify downside pressure if it persists.
